With a statement on their official website, Manchester United have announced that promising goalkeeper Kieran O'Hara has signed a new contract with the club.

The new deal will keep the Republic of Ireland U21 international at Old Trafford until the end of the 2019-2020 season.

Kieran O'Hara was offered fresh terms on the back of his imperious displays for Manchester United's U23 team, for whom he has started the last ten matches in the Premier League 2.

''Since I joined United, it has been everything I expected it to be. The club gives you all the guidance that you need from experienced coaches to improve every single day,'' O'Hara told United's official website.

"But I know that the hard work has just started and that I need to continue to listen and give everything in training and the matches we have coming up.

''I know I’m at the right place to continue my development as a young player and I’m thrilled to have signed a new contract."

The 21-year-old has enjoyed loan spells at Trafford, AFC Fylde, Morecambe and Stockport County since his arrival at Manchester United in July 2012.
